"temple ov thee lemur" news and stories

I've always been intrigued by regional differences in seemingly standard food. The trans-Atlantic variations in Mars bars was not something I'd pondered, however. Until now. According to the folks at U.K.-based Temple of thee Lemur, the Mars bars we have here in the States pale in comparison to the British ones. TotL's The VISIBLE MARS BAR Project aims to educate readers on the differences between American and British Mars bars, with a tasting of Milky Way bars thrown in for good measure. A series of cross-sections of each bar is about as scientific as the analysis gets. One can clearly see that the American version has almonds and the British version does not. Fascinating. TotL's one-man tasting panel rates the British Mars above the American ones, but our Milky Way bars appear to best the U.K. version.
